DragonNeko Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Do you mean snails? If so they're pretty harmless. They can overpopulate the tank, but if you don't overfeed then they shouldn't breed to much. Also, if you do get too many in the tank you can always give them away to members with puffer fish or loaches. Those fish love to eat them Also, Assassin snails will kill other snails. They're nice looking too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishGalore Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 yes i think there snails ? theres zoo small like white specks on the glass. do they grow larger ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonNeko Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 White specks? Hmm, yeah snails can look white when their babies. They do grow larger, to about an 1/2 inch to 1 inch. They also procreate with themselves, no male female needed. The only snails that I know of that breed by having a male and female are Apple Snails. You can keep just one of those and you'll have no babies. They're really pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmi7 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I think fishgalore is talking about little water bugs that are very small and look like white specks on the glass. I got them a couple times by doing regular water changes. Just do a few good sized water changes and then keep up with regular ones and they should go away. At least that's how I got rid of mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
